The wristband 1 has a substantially rectangular shape, and has a structure in which a water absorbing pad 3 is covered with a dry mesh sheet 2. The longitudinal ends of the wristband 1 have mounting portions 4a and 4b via elastic gathers 5, respectively.

The mounting portions 4a and 4b are made of a nonwoven fabric or a woven fabric as a material, are easily attached and detached and have relatively high adhesiveness, for example, a sheet fastener or an adhesive surface commonly used in commercially available disposable diapers. Is preferably used. In addition, in the case of disposable, a cheaper material is preferable. For example, one of the mounting portions 4a and 4b has a simple adhesive surface that can sufficiently exhibit adhesiveness in a predetermined working time. Is preferred.

The gathers 5 are for adjusting the degree of wearing when the wristband 1 is wrapped around the wrist and the mounting portions 4a and 4b are superimposed and mounted, and need not necessarily be provided at both ends.

The dry mesh sheet 2 is made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polypropylene (P
A water-permeable mesh sheet material made of a nonwoven fabric or the like using P) or the like is used. The mesh surface is preferably made of a nonwoven fabric containing a synthetic fiber such as a polyester-based or polyvinylalcohol-based material and partially heated and pressed to partially form a film while leaving the air-permeable fiber gap. . The film rate of the surface material is
A range of 30% to 60% of the entire nonwoven fabric is preferred.

The dry mesh sheet 2 prevents bodily fluids such as sweat generated from the skin from causing stickiness and discomfort on the human body, and absorbs the generated bodily fluids such as sweat into the water absorbing pad 3 inside. Having. Further, the absorbed body fluid such as sweat is gelled and trapped in the water absorbing pad 3 and does not return. Dry mesh sheet 2
Is also provided on the surface opposite to the skin contact surface, which is effective not only for wiping the sweat on the forehead but also for the wrist.

The water-absorbing pad 3 is composed of a woven or nonwoven bag of natural or synthetic fibers and a water-absorbing polymer material sealed therein. The water-absorbing pad 3 has a function of containing the water absorbed through the dry mesh sheet 2 and preventing the water-absorbing polymer from changing into a gel form and flowing back out of the water-absorbing pad. The water-absorbing polymer used for the water-absorbing pad 3 currently absorbs and gels water more than 400 times its own weight, and has no toxicity and irritation like food additives in oral toxicity and skin irritation tests. It is preferred to use one. The water-absorbing pad 3 is preferably an antibacterial one. For example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-108261, a water-absorbing pad 3 containing phytoncide or glycyrrhizin in cyclodextrin is included. Can be used.

As disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-108261, this glycyrrhizin is a triterpene glycoside extracted from licorice, and its medicinal effects are anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-viral, detoxifying. It is known for its effects on liver function improvement, immunomodulation and the like, and is used in many pharmaceuticals because of its medicinal effects. Glycyrrhizin is originally extracted from licorice as an organic acid or a salt thereof.However, since it is conceivable that some people may adversely affect the skin with this drug itself, as a preferred embodiment, glycyrrhizin is included in cyclodextrin and a water absorbing pad is used. If contained in 3, the effect can be effectively exerted by temperature and humidity generated by moisture due to sweat, dew condensation and the like. The above-mentioned cyclodextrin is a maltooligosaccharide composed of a cyclic α-1,4 glycooxide bond.

In addition to the above-mentioned glycyrrhizin, natural phytontide is included in cyclodextrin and used in combination with a glycyrrhizin inclusion body, or by using phytoncide and glycyrrhizin in a cyclodextrin together. The antibacterial effect is further enhanced. Natural phytoncide is natural tree essential oil or wood vinegar oil obtained by extraction methods such as steam distillation from natural trees, branches and leaves, rhizomes, bark, fruits and the like.
It is a tree essential oil extracted from cedar, hiba coniferous and eucalyptus trees. This phytontide is an isoprene derivative represented by (C ₅ H ₈ ) _n , and among these, monoterpenes and sexterpenes of n = 2, 3 are highly volatile substances with aroma, and are typically Examples are α-pinene, β
-It mainly contains a delpen-based substance such as pinene, ditenpene, terpinolene, linalool and the like.

It is known that these phytontides have antibacterial, antifungal, insect repellent, deodorizing and relaxation effects. The antimicrobial water-absorbing pad 3 can be made to be contained in the water-absorbing pad 3 by filling these antimicrobial materials into a water-absorbing polymer or applying or impregnating the non-woven fabric covering the water-absorbing material. Become. In addition, about the said antibacterial processing, it is also possible to use about the dry mesh sheet 2.

The water absorbing pad 3 has a heat insulating effect as a heat insulating layer since an air layer is also formed in its structure. Further, the type of the water-absorbing polymer in the water-absorbing pad 3, for example, an acrylate-based (acrylic acid polymer partially sodium salt crosslinked product) water-absorbing polymer and a water-absorbing resin having a water absorbing performance of 80 to 1000 times its own weight It is possible to change the amount of water absorption by a combination of the above and the like, and adjust it according to the specific use situation.

The wristband 1 is attached to the end 4 of the mounting portion.
a, when the adhesive tape is attached to both sides of 4b,
For example, the wristband 1 can be stuck inside a helmet, in which case it has a sufficient function as a heat protection tool.
